US Announces $3 billion pledge to Green Climate Fund

On Saturday, the U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced in Dubai at the COP28 Climate Conference that the United States is pledging $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund — the world’s largest climate fund created to help developing countries handle climate change. The multibillion-dollar pledge to the climate fund, however, first must be approved by the U.S. Congress.

Around the world, there are those who seek to slow or stop our progress. Leaders who deny climate science, delay climate action and spread misinformation

Welcoming the contribution, COP 28 President, Dr Sultan Al Jaber said, "We continue to deliver at COP28. The groundbreaking replenishment of the Green Climate Fund is the largest ever at $12.3 billion, and yet I believe we can do more. Let me thank the USA, and let's continue to deliver for the billions of people who need us to unite, act and deliver."

This news is most welcome, considering that Green Climate Fund announced a partnership with AGRA, through the launch of Re-GAIN.
